JUDGMENT
The petitioner is the wife of the convict who is undergoing life imprisonment at Central Prison and Correctional Home, Thavanur. The marriage of the convict’s nephew is fixed on 13.04.2026. Therefore, the petitioner filed Ext.P3 application before the respondent No.1 seeking emergency leave. The grievance of the petitioner is that it has not been considered so far. Hence, she has approached this Court.
2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Senior Public Prosecutor.
3. Ext.P4 would show that the marriage of the convict’s nephew is fixed on 13.04.2026. Hence, I am of the view that the convict can be granted emergency leave for a period of one week. In this circumstance, respondent No.1 is directed to grant emergency leave to the convict for a period of one week from 10.04.2026.
